The "century of trauma" produced writing at once saturated in political violence and complicated by the ethics of aesthetic representation.

Veterans narrate what Tim O'Brien calls a "true war story": one without obvious purpose or moral imputation, independent of civilian logic, propaganda goals, and even peacetime convention.
